Re: Storage for storage and travel

the carryon weight limit is generally not applied to camera gear.  They acknowledge it isn't safe as checkin, and well past their coverage limits.   So if you have a think tank with a camera and lenses obvious in view, along with strobes and such, the counter staff should be fine.   Only rarely have I encountered them weighing it, though I have less experience with the tiny island hoppers.

I stow my housing itself in my laptop bag, as it's too big for my think tank.   I don't have the largest carry on model, as international airlines don't all allow for 9x22, and empty those things weigh 10+ lbs.
